I need help answering this question for trig equations. Sec^2x+4secx=-4

Mathematics

Answer:

x = 120°

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

sec²x + 4secx = -4

Rearranging gives;

sec²x + 4secx + 4 = 0

Factorizing the left hand side gives;

(sec x + 2)(sec x + 2) = 0

This means that;

(sec x + 2) = 0

From trigonometry, we know that sec x = 1/cos x

Thus;

(1/cos x) + 2 = 0

1/cos x = -2

cos x = -1/2

cos x = -0.5

x = cos^(-1) -0.5

x = 120°

Answer:

The correct option is;

B. 50 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The information given in the question are;

The distance between the two cities = 140 km

The direction of motion of the first car = From A to B (left)

The direction of motion of the second car = From B to A

The time after which both cars meet = 1 hour

The time duration it takes after both cars meet for the second car to reach A = 35 minutes

The total time taken by the second car from city B to city A = The time it takes to meet the first car + The time it takes after meeting the first car to reach city A

∴ The total time taken by the second car from city B to city A = 1 hour + 35 minutes = 60 minutes + 35 minutes = 95 minutes

95 minutes = 95/60 hours = 1⁷/₁₂ hours =  1.58\bar 3 hours

The speed of the second car = Distance/Time = 140 km/(1.58\bar 3 hours) ≈ 88.42 km/h

Therefore, let the distance from A of the point the first car meet the second car = x

Therefore, we have;

The distance from B of the point both cars meet  = (140 - x) km

Given that both cars meet after one hour, we have;

The distance travelled by the second car coming from city B, after one hour = (140 - x) km = Speed of the second car × 1 hour

88.42 km/h × 1 hour = 88.42 km = (140 - x) km

x = 140 - 88.42 ≈ 51.58 km

The distance from A of the point the first car meet the second car = x = 51.58 km

The speed of car A = (The distance from A of the point the first car meet the second car)/(Time it takes both cars to meet)

∴ The speed of the first car = 51.58 km/(1 hour)

The speed of the first car = 51.58 km/h ≈ 50 km/h (Rounding up to the nearest 10th).

What is the slope of the line ?
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

You can calculate slope with \frac{y1-y2}{x1-x2}

2 points from the graph are (0,-1) and (4,2)

plugging the points in would give you

\frac{2-(-1)}{4-0} = \frac{3}{4}
